The Sun. — London, England, 1838-03-26 00:00:00

WITH WHICH ~ THE TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 26, 1835. By the arrival at Liverpool of the New York packet ship England, we have received New York Papers tie the 3d inst. inclusive, from which copious extracts are given in another part of The Sun. They bring a mass of what they denominate " highly important" and " very alarming" intelligence from the Canadian frontier, the burden of which is that the " patriots" are again in motion ; and that, at the date of the last arrivals, they had actually worsted the Queee's troops in an engagement near Maiden. From a careful examination of all the flyieg reports published in the American journals—most of them supplied by individuals unworthy of any credit—we deem it a duty to caution our readers against placing the least confidence in them. Nay, we are morally certain that the reported " battle at Maiden" is A pure fiction, and that the rebels instead of having two thousand warriors in arms ready to invade Canada have not as many hundreds in a mood to risk their necks in so hcpeless an expedition. The inactivity of the Federal Government in an affair of such delicacy begins to excite the suspicions of the Canadian loyalists. We are no longer surprised at this. It certainly harmonizes very ill with the prompt and decided proclamations of the PIieSIDENT, and the circulars addressed by Mr. Secre tary FoRSTTH to the frontier authorities, comrisandingthe ob servance of a strict neutrality. The United States' Govern ment must be perfectly aware, long before this time, that nine tenths of the rebels now threatening an invasion of the British territory are American citizens—that their leaders are Ame rican officers—that their arms are taken out of the American State arsenals—and, in fact, that the war depart ments of the frontier States are virtually charged with the preparatory cost of the expedition. With the observance of a strict frontier neutrality, all thoughts of an invasion of the British territory on the part of the rebels would vanish, as MACKENZIE and PAPINEAU COUld not raise one hundred men to dispute the right of her MAJESTY to the sovereignty of a square foot of her North American dominions. As it is therefore universally known that the peace of our provinces is endangered nominally by British subjects in a state of rebellion, but virtually by American citizens, we cannot help expressing surprise at the frivolous objections which have hitherto served to delay the passing of the Frontier Neutrality Bill. Throughout this affa,:r Congress has manifested no solicitude to impress Foreign States with the strictness with which Republican Governments adhere to the faith of treaties. The Reese.. DENT personally eaercised with laudable alacrity the discre tionary powers entrusted to him ; hut we regret to add that, in the House of Representatives, his honourable and pacific policy did not meet with that unanimous and hearty sup port which it would have done had the Members been actuated by the princi?les of honour and good faith. In our extracts from the New York Papers will be found an account of a duel which took place at Washing ton on the 24th ult., between Mr. CILLEY, of Maine, and Mr. Geeves, of Kentucky, in which the former was killed on the spot. The combatants wore both Members of Con gress. and to make sure work of it, fought with rifles ! To the disgrace of the Legislature, a public funeral was voted for the remains of CILLEY. Were the moral civilization of the States consulted, the surviving principal and the seconds in this duel would be hanged, and the bodies of al four handed over for dissection to the nearest College cf Physicians. The Dublin Election Committee decided this morning that Mr. O'CONNELL and Mr. HUTTON were duly elected• What a blow for the Tories ! Their long purses—their subscriptions collected from every part of the empire—their array of pious pastors subscribing their funds to encourage strife, and keep alive oppresion, have all helped them no thing. Already have the Tory journals complained bitterly of mismanagement—of the SPOTTISWOOD Fund having been wasted amongst certain families and their friends ; and now that their nefarious scheme to turn out Mr. O'CONNELL has broken down, they.will surely break their hearts. Ti.e world can spare them. Mr. Nl` HALE, who signs his letter JOHN TUAM, from being the Catholic Archbishop of that diocese, has ad dressed another letter to Lord JOHN RUs•ELL, in which 11:- reminds the Noble Lord of certain resolutions adopted by the Catholic Bishops at a general Inceting held at Dubin], in 1826. In substance those Prelates then declared that the masters and ass:stants of any school forming part of a system of national education, of which the majority of the scholars were Catholics, should be Catholics, and ap pointed and removed by the said Bishops ; that the book. intended for the instruction of Roman Catholic children in religion should be selected or approved by the said Bishops ; and that they, being appointed by Divine Providence to watch over and preserve the Catholic faith and held re sponsible to Goo for the souls of their flocks, would not support any system of education not in accordance with these principles. JOHN TUA►i, following out these reso lutions, declares most emphatically to Lord Joni Russr Over the books used for the religious instruction of my flock I have stated that I shall exercise, without regard to any board, exclusive and absolute controul. It may now be necessary to add, that I shall never intrust their religious education to any person professing a different faith, or whose faith shall be tainted by the religious training of any professing a different creed. No master shall have the contralti of such education who will rot be appointed with my express approval, or removed upon my representation. The Times, as is verynatural to that journal,vehemently attacks these " usurping priests," and asks— Was ever tyranny like this tyranny ? Were ever human beings so trampled on, mind and body, or so mashed into a mess of pottage, to be devoured by others, as these miserable Irish Roman Catholics under their bludgeoneering priests ? We think there is another tyranny, quite as bad or worse. We are no defenders of Dr. WHALE'S assumptions ; but as one clever and ambitious man is useful to oppose another clever and ambitious man—as WELLINGTON was of great use to put down BUONAPARTE, though we do not like soldiers at all—we think JOHN TUAM may with propriety be patted on the back to contend with HENaY EXETER. He and his co-Bishi.ps are quite as scrupulous about allow ing religion to be taught in any public schools, except by orthodox clergymen, and from orthodox books, as JOHN TUAX and his brother Bishops. The Times we are sure does not forget the impediments which the Bishops and the Clergy of the English church laid in the way of all instruction for the people, till they could get a controul over it. But what the priests of the Esta blished Church do in regard to their own flocks is of less importance than what they insist on doing for the flocks of the Catholic Bishops. JOHN TUAX complains of an " insi dious scheme for severing the connection between the Catholics of Ireland and their faithful pastors," and of "a sys tem of open aggression." But we did not require his autho rity for the assertion, that the English Bishops are resolved to separate the Catholic people from their clergymen. Has not HENRY EXETER, over and over again denounced, in the House of Lords, the scheme of giving education to Catholics, because it was not Protestant education ? Has be not objected to the books and objected to the Catholic BELGIAN I. UNDS—Bausser.s, Ma aces 24. Actual Debt, 2!ii per Cent. Rothschild's Loan, 5 per Cent.......... ......

And has he not used his power as a legislator to thrust his own religious tenets on the people of Ireland ? The tyranny of JOHN TUAM, whatever it be, is voluntarily submitted to ; but the tyranny of HENRY EXETER and his co-prelates is upheld in Ireland, and can only be upheld, by the bayonet. The Catholic pastors live with their flocks, and may be supposed to know their wants. The Protestant Bishops, even those who have sees in Ire land, are absent from that country half the year ; while those who have sees in England, though they insist on prescribing books, lessons, and masters for the Catholics, are as ignorant of the Catholic Irish, and as much estranged from these aliens as from the Sandwich Islanders. The tyranny which HENRY EXETER, and the other Protestant Saints would exercise over the people in Ireland, taking their substance, and returning them insult and contumely, is far worse than that of the Catholic Bishops, though neither is commendable. We can excuse JoHN TUAM indeed, be cause he and his brother Prelates are not the aggressors, and it is the avowed and determined project of HENRY EXETER, and his legislating friends to stifle Catholicism, which puts JOHN TUAM on his mettle to resist. The Times once said, we " have too much Church"—if that phrase were altered into too much priestcraft, it would meet with 'univer sal approbation ; and it is quite as true of Protestant Eng land as of Catholic Ireland. We request the attention of our readers to the article in another part of the Papor, headed " Poor of Camberwell." In the petition of the Guardians of that extensive parish will be found evidence in favour of the new system, which must be considered peculiarly valuable, as coming from a source which the enemies of that system, even though Lord STANHOPE be numbered among them, will hardly dare to question. And what do the Camberwell Guardians—the men chosen by the rate-payers—say on the expiry of their year of office ? That the able-bodied poor, who were for merly quartered in idleness on the resources of the indus trious, have betaken themselves to habits of industry, are supporting themselves and their Limilies by their own exertions, and that their morals, as well as their comforts have undergone a marked improvement—that the number of illegitimate children, which, in the two years preceding the introduction of the amended law was fort; - six, has diminished in the two succeeding years to ten— that in conjunction with this great moral improvement, there has been a reduction in the expense of more Man on• half! Who is there that, after such a proof of the practi cal working of the new law, will not heartily unite with the Guardians in the prayer of their petition, that the Legislature " will not consent to any alterations affect ing the principles of a measure which, at a greatly lessened cost to the rate-payer, affords on the one hand to the ne cessitous poor such ample protection, as under the old de fective system they could not be sure of, and tends, on the other, to reform habits of idleness in the able-bodied, and to restore such persons to the condition and character of independence." The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have been received. In the Chamber of Deputies on Fri day an angry discussion arose in eensequence of an ex pression which fell from M. A. DE LABOURDONNAYE in a debate on the additional grant of 900,000 francs de manded by Ministers for military pensions. This gentle man charged the Government with placing Royalist officers on half-pay, though willing to serve under the reigning Sovereign, and in the course of his speech stigmatised the Revolution of July as a " Catastrophe." A violent outcry was raised on all sides, and an instant retractation de manded. The Duke of FITZJAMES, another Royalist, defended the epithet as perfectly applicable, inasmuch as the KING had used it in a letter to the EMPEROR of Russia when notifying his accession to the Throne of the Bourbons. This only added fuel to the flame. The President rose and rebuked the Duke for employing the KING'S name, and again called upon M.de LABOURDONNAYE for an apology. This was refused, after which a vote of censure was moved and carried by a majority of 224 against 20. This division is conclusive of the weak ness of the Royalists, who are reported to have mustered all their strength on this occasion. Letters from Bayonne, of the 21-st instant, state that General O'DoNs ELL had succeeded in seizing and carry ing away 180 loads of iron ore from the Carlist mines of Puente Pagallada. The Christinos met with little opposi tion from the troops stationed to protect the mines. Annexed are extracts from the Journals : A letter from the Valley of Aran, of 15th March, says— " Carlistg, to the .:umber of 4,000 men, who were besieging the little fortress of Gerry. were attacked on the 11th by a Chriv.ino column, and fell back to Dort and Realpe, with the guns which they employed in the siege, leaving many killed and wounded on the field. But the Chriatinos did not long enjoy their success ; they were surprised on the following day by the Carlist division of Bruet, who had come to the aid of the besiegers. They could not resist his attack, and retreated precipitately into Gerrv. All that could not find an asylum in that place, have either shut themselves up in Pyramega, or fallen into the hands of the assailants. It is supposed that this unexpected reversion, and the accumulation of Carlist forces in the district of Talaree, will draw the attention of Baron de Meer, who is expected with a strong division."— Il des Pyrenees Oriental.

Brussels and German papers have reached us this morn ing. In the Brussels Chamber of Deputies a project of liw was under consideration for limiting the importatiorr of salt to the ports of Ostend and Antwerp. It was violently opposed in the name of the cities of Bruges, Louvain, Ghent, and Brussels. Advices from Athens, of the Ist inst., represent the state of Greece as improving, and the KING as increasing in popularity. His 'MAJESTY was then making a tour through his dominions, and had reason to be satisfied with the reception given him by his subjects. The following important extract includes the only other news of any interest in these journals : ANTWERP, MARCH 24. —lf the following lines are true, all uncertainty respecting the manner in which the Cabinet of the Hague intends to re-open the negociations must cease. The following paragraph is in the Avondbode of this day, under the head of Amsterdam, March 24 : " We are informed, on good authority, that his Majesty the King has authorised M. Dedel to sign the Twenty-four Art Lies. It is pretty positively affirmed that his Majesty has resolved to take this step in consequence cf the friendly repre sentations of the Ambassadors of England and France, re siding at the Hague, and who, since this important event, have daily conferences on the subject with Baron Verstolk Van Toehn, our Minister for Foreign Affairs." We are not able to decide on the greater or less correctness of this account of the Avondbode, but in our opinion it de serves a new degree of probability, from the unanimity with which the Second Chamber of the States General has voted the two financial laws for providing for the extraordinary •x -pences of the War-establishment, and for the payment of the interest of the Debt.—Journal du Commerce d'Anvers, March 25. Letters from Frankfort of the 20th inst. state that on the question of the division in the Chamber of Deputies of Hanover, relative to the competency of that Assembly to accept a new Constitution, thirty-one votes were given in the affirmative and twenty-two in the negative. As nine teen constituencies have refused to elect Deputies under the Letters Patent, there is clearly a majority in favour of the Constitution of 1833. A dissolution was expected. Letters and papers from Madrid to the 17th instant have been received, but their contents are of no importance. The Carlist Chief TALLADA was tried by a Court Mar tial, sentenced to be shot, and the sentence executed by command of General OaAA on the 14th. The rebels have suffered a series of reverses since the opening of the present campaign. They are still formidable never theless.

MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. A good arrival of both Grain and Flour last week was sufficient to satisfy the buyers' necessities, and the trade since last Monday expe rience.l no variation. This morning there was a good quantity of Wheat from Kent, but small from other parts, and of other grain the supply was moderate. In the Wheat trade firmness prevails, and all the good samples were taken off readily at the previous week's prices, and other qualities met a fair demand. Barley maintains the terms of this day se'nnight. Beans and Peas support their former value. There has been a fair demand for Oats to.day at the rates of this day se'n. night. The bakers made purchases of flour last week to a fair extent at the late advance in prices. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) 55.1 62a.

Today we have no public sales of Colonial produce. For the week there is a fair business adver. tised already, consis:ing chiefly of Mauritius, Bengal, and Siam Sugar, Brazil, East India, and other Coffee, Rice, Dye Woods, scc , and a great portion of these sales come on to-morrow.

Barley continues in good supply and prices without variation. The supply of Oats was large and last week's rates scarcely maintained. Rye of the best quality met a fair demand at our last quotations, but inferior samples were very difficult to dispose of. Malt continued in the same doll state.

(Signed) " DENTS LE MERCHANT. To the Chairman of Lloyd'S, Sic. me,,, FINE ARTS. SUFFOLK-STREET GALLERY. The private view of the fifteenth exhibition of the Society of British Artists took place in Suffolk-street on Saturday. There is great variety in the exhibition, more so, indeed, than usual, but there is no one painting that can lay claim to first-rate excellence, whether of design or execution ; though there are very many that are far above common-place. The historical pictures are numerous; the landscapes still more so ; but there are fewer portraits— which we cannot help thinking is an advantage—than has usually been the case in this exhibition. No. 56. The Hypocrite is by Prentiss It is a very clever cabinet picture, forcibly conceived and as for cibly executed, with not a little of that effective satire which we so much relish in Hogarth. A sleek, oily saint, a compound of Maw-worm and Cantwell, who has, it seems, been feasting daintily with a rich and good-looking ~ i dow, is suddenly moved by the spirit—of course the half-emp tied bottle of old port on the table, has nothing to do with such promptings—to start from his chair, and with upturned eyes, make a formal declaration of love :o his hostess. The hypocrite's expression of countenance is ad mirably characteristic. It is sly, and fawning, and adula tory, with one eye beaming devotion, and the other, lust. This painting is one of the most spirited in the exhibition, and does great credit to the skill and tact of the artist. No. 11 7, The Ravine of the Desert, Mexico, is the pro duction of Mr. Egerton. The perspective of this highly finished, elaborate picture is most correctly preserved throughout. On first glancing at it, we were impressed with an idea that the colouring was rather too warm, and not a little fantastic ; but on consideration we recollected that the artist was borne out in his gorgeous tints by the descriptions given of the splendid and glowing character of Mexican scenery, unknown in the colder and more equable climes of Europe, by some recent travellers in America. Mr. Egerton's painting has a poetical charm about it, like that which we meet with in some of Turner's earlier Italian landscapes. The hills, the tallies, the distant mountains, and the glittering lake, are all steeped in glory—" the glory and the freshness of a dream." The scene, in fact, represents rather one of Fairy-land than of this actual ex isting world of ours ; yet it would appear that it in no re spect oversteps the modesty of nature. 'Fbe motto, which is extracted from one of Sir Walter Scott's poems—the " Lady of the Lake, if we remember rightly—describes its character exactly, and justifies its apparent exaggeration. No. 121, Portrait of Mr. Charles Kean in Hamlet, by Dawe, is scrupulously faithful as a likeness, and quite sufficiently intellectual in its character. It is very chastely coloured, and the attitude is elegant and unconstrained. No. 69.—A Friend in Adversity.—This is another of Prentis's works, but it is quite in a different style from his former one, the Hypocrite. It represents a young and lovely woman cheering her husband by her smiles and words of encouragement in the dark season of disease and sorrow. There is much pure and gentle pathos in this picture, without any deficiency of spirit. No. 279—Christmas in the Reign of Elizabeth is one of the most striking, if not the most so, pictures in the exhi bition. It is by Buss, aid cannot fail to obtain him consi derable reputation as an artist. The painting teems in every part, even down to the minutest points, with life and vigour, and is, besides, full of character and expression. It bears indications of much thought and study, which have not been thrown away. Nothing can be more feli citous than the groupings in this cheerful, well-considered picture, or more strictly appropriate than the various gro tesque personages introduced into it. It is in fact a veritable representation of the old merry Christmas mummeries, as they used to be enacted in the baronial halls of England. We have the lieensed fool—the quaintly-accoutred jester—the party round the " Yule Log" listening to the ghost stories of a withered old crone—the obstreporous group round the " wassail bowl"—the pleasant kissings under the mistletoe —the well-known cushion-dance—the game at snap-dragon —and the preparation of the delicious lamb's-wool. All these various incidents are detailed by Mr. Buss with in finite spirit and freedom of touch. The colouring of the painting throughout is excellent. No. s.s—Portrait of Mrs. Nesbitt, by Middleton, is a very graceful and expressive likeness. The artist has caught the true expression of the original. No. 138.—River Scene, moonlight, Autumn—is a clever landscape, from the pencil of Childe. There is a deep, mellow tone in the colouring, which we should be glad to meet with more frequently in the works of our modern landscape painters, who too often study only to produce, not an effect merely, but a sensation. Mr. Childe has had the rare good sense to adhere to the sobrieties of nature. No. 316. An Allegorical Picture of the Queen is a cold, formal work, wanting in expression, and all that gives life and character to painting. The countenance of her Ma- jesty is as inexpressive as wax work, and the colouring generally is ineffective. The best portion of the picture is the horse whereon the Queen is riding, which givea a few indications of talent. There are many other able paintings in the Exhibition, but the crowd was so great, and kept increasing so rapidly, that we were unable to examine them with the attentio❑ which they merit. Most of the distinguished connoisseurs and amateurs of the day were present, and among them we recognised Earl Grey, Sir Robert Peel, and Lord John Russell.

Our supplies from Ireland this week are very moderate, owing in part perhaps to stormy weather. To Wakefield there is a large arrival of Wheat and Barley. The trade since our last report has been very quiet in all its branches : speculators are not inclined to increase their stocks at present rates, and consumers limit their purchases to the supply of ins. mediate wants. At Liverpool and Wakefield yesterday, a moderate bu siness only was done in all articles. The same description applies to our Market of this Day, and the value of every thing remain: much the same as last quoted.

The general topic of conversation this morning entirel y relates to the news from Canada, which in the minds of the well.informed is looked upon with suspicion, and very little credit is given to the ac counts inserted in the American Papers. The chief observations of the public relate to the conduct of the American Government, not only in suffering the rebels to assemble on their frontiers but committing all descriptions of robberies, breaking open their arsenals, and plundering the citizens of their property, in defiance of the laws of the United States — su rel y the American Government in that weak state as to suffer such acts of violen ce on their own terri. cannot be tory, by a few outcasts , who at the a pp roach of regular troops, fly in all directions—it cannot be otherwise than the American Government wink at the proceeding, tendening to a breach of neutrality, There has been little doing in the Consol market during the course of the morning, and they may be quoted at present at 031 buyers, money 931 to 1.

TO OUR READERS. Fom the renewal of our connection with the Press, we have candidly avowed our objects to be the advocacy and advaicement of opinions, which we deem to be of prime im portnee to the well-being of society—and the realization of a far remuneration for our toil, as indispensable to our per sona comfort and political independence. These ends we had loped to secure, by producing the largest amount of de siralle intelligence at the least possible cost. As the sole object in alluding to ourselves is to vindicate the couch we are compelled to take, and not to elicit eithe. succour or sympathy, al we shall confine our selvis to this statement, that owing, either to the comiarative smallness of the Liberal party ; or to their pines, or to their poverty, or to the combination of these calms, the Evening True Sun, after great efforts and serious sacrfices was reluctantly abandoned. We flattered ourselves the 'essation of that paper would have so far largely aug men ed the sale of the Weekly True Sun, as to have enabled us b adhere to the small price of Fourpence. In this we are disappointed ; for though our sale aye rages ten thousand copies a-week, yet from the size of he Paper (considerably larger than the Examiner, whirls charges Sixpence, and as large as the Spectator, whies charges Ninepence), and the cost of composi tion,the press, and other disbursements, we find that the gross recepts do not meet the actual outlay, in which no allowance whaever is made either for the wear and tear of materials and maciinery, nor a farthing compensation to the individual, who,e name is indicated by the initials affixed to this address. Wits these facts staring us in the face, and feeling that the labourer is worthy of his hire, we have resolved to raise the pries of the Weekly True Sun, on and from the Ist of April, to tle price of Fivepence ; which is the same as charged by all he Morning and Evening Papers in London. D. W. H. (\Ve have copied the above from the Weekly True Sun of yes;erday. Of course there can be no doubt that the initials denote the Liberal Member for Southwark. We cordially concur in the sentiments avowed in the address, which is characteristic of Mr. HARVEY'S usual candid and straight forward manner. We cannot help at the same time re gretting that there should have been any occasion for such an appeal to the Radical, or professed Liberal portion of the community. We see no such appeals to the Conservatives, simply because they support their friends, and those who advo cate their principles. Not so the Radicals—and wherefore ? Surely that party can support a weekly paper exclusively, conscientiously, and very meritoriously devoted to their interests. We do not see why Mr. HARVEY should ❑ot at once raise the price of his paper to sixpence, for its large size, various information, and political ability, as compared with other journals, fully justify such a price. Instead of a circulation of 10,000, the Radicals,if sincere in the cause which they profess, ought at least to take double or treble that number, and thereby place one of their best champions in a position of pecuniary independence, consonant with the whole tenor of his past political life. No public man has sacri ficed more in the cause of the people than Mr. HARVEY, and it will be long before the people will find another ad vocate of equal ability, or one so devoted to the progress of Reform both in Church and State. Mr. HARVEY'S ad dress is manly and independent, and the Liberals would do well to remember that " the labourer is worthy of his hire." If the people are not true to themselves, by doing justice to their friends, what inducement is there for public men to sacrifice their talents, time, and independence, at the shrine of ingratitude?—En. Sun.] ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) DUBLIN. CLOSE OF THE PROCEEDINGS. At the sitting of the Committee this morning, Mr. Thessiger said, that he had a communication to make to them, which he doubted not would be received by them with the greatest satis faction. Since the last meeting of the Committee counsel for petitioners had looked into their case, and considering the position in which they stood in reference to the various deci sions to which the Committee had already come, they had found that they could not proceed further with a hope of success proportioned to the expense that would ne;essarily be incurred by both parties. Under these circumstances they had determined upon abandoning the pe tition, but before doing sohe wished to state to the Committee that the petition had been framed principally in reliance on the decisions of the last Dublin Committee—decisions which they believed to have been founded in truth, reason and justice, and under which they had been able to sweep away large masses of the constituency who had voted for Mr. O'Connell. The present Committee had, however, over-ruled all these decisions with but one exception, and although there were yet grounds which might justify them in proceeding further, the expense would be so great that, under all the circumstances, Counsel had recom mended to the agents, rather to abandon the petition. Notice had been given to the agents on the other side, and they now withdrew any further opposition to the return of Messrs. O'Connell and Hutton. Mr. AUSTIN, for the sitting Members, said that he was perfectly satisfied with the course pursued by the other side, and the more so because he felt he deserved the victory. His Learned Friend, however, was not quite correct in saying that the Com mittee had over-ruled all the decisions of the previous Com mittee, with one exception, the fact being that they had over ruled only two out of the entire—one being the necessity of making a demand for the paying the tax, and the other that the pipe-water rate was not a municipal cess. He, how ever, would now accept the resignation of the petitioners, and he would not press for any further decision, than that his clients were duly elected. The room was then ordered to be cleared, and on the re admission of strangers, the Chairman announced the decision of the Committee as follows : " That Daniel V O'Connell and Robert Hutton, Esqrs., were duly elected to serve in Parliament as burgesses for the city of Dublin. ;` That the petition of Edward Cottingham and others was not frivolous or vexatious. " That the opposition to said petition wax not frivolous or vexatious. " And further, that the Committee had altered the poll by ttriking off the name of Thomas Kenner." SHAFTESBURY. The Counsel for the sitting Member this morning proceeded to make out a case of treating against the petitioner. The evidence, &c., will probably occupy all day. (The conclusion will be given in a Second Edition. ) DIORAMA. The private view of the Diorama took place on Satur day. There is only one new view this year, namely, that of Tivoli with its cascades ; the other, the Basilica of St. Paul's, being already well-known to the public. The view of Tivoli is taken from the terrace of the Temple of the Sibyl, and is full of those rich picturesque effects for which the Diorama has ever been so celebrated. The Cascade, in particular, is managed with extraordinary skill ; the painted Cataract is by some singular contrivance put in motion, while the roar of falling water is at the same time produced. We have seldom seen a more complete illusion—which may be safely pronounced to be the best that has yet been repre sented at. this exhibition. The Basilica of St. Paul's is, in its way, fully equal in merit to Tivoli, and will repay the trouble of a second visit. Both, we understand, are the productions of the Chevalier Bouton.

SLAVERY ( IRELAND ) ._The citizens of Dublin vie with those of London in exertions to ameliorate the con dition of the negroes. A public meeting cf the Hibernihn Anti -Slavery Scciety was held last Friday at the Rotunda, fi r the purpose of petitioning Parliament for the abolition of Negro Slavery, as it exists in the British Colonies under th mask of appenticeship. Resolutions were adopted in confor m'ty with the benevolent objects contemplated by those friends of their species who called the meeting. (ADVERTISEMENT. ) ASPIIALTE COMPANIES.—We are authorised to state, that a patent was obtained by Messrs. Cassell and Sons, of Mill-Wall, Poplar, in the year 1834, for " a cement or combination of materials applicable to the purposes for which carnant, stone, brick, or other similar substances may or can be uscd"—that the properties and uses of the material pa tented, as well as the operations protected by these letters pa tent, are, in all respects, the same as those sought to be intro duced to public notice by a Company denominated " Claridge's Patent Asphaltic Company," and others—that Messrs. Cas. sell have determined to sustain their exclusive rights, and, by all legal ways and means, to resist every attempt to invade their patent—and that arrangements are now snaking, in con junction with some leading engineers and capitalists, to extend the operations of the patent by the establishment of a Joint Stock Company. The lava road laid down by Messrs. Cas sell in 1834, at Mill Wall, and at Pimlico in 1835, as also the flooring of the stables of Messrs. Goding's Brewery, Belvi derc-read, Lambeth, and several foot-paths in the neighbour hood of London, are existing practical specimens of the ma. tcrial, and of its usefulness, and are conclusive proofs of its originality and general utility. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) JUDGMENT—SMALL v. ATTWOOD. The excitement relative to the fate of this important cause seems unabated. Long before ten o'clock the avenues to the gallery and the bar of the House were crowded to excess, and immediately after prayers both bar and gallery were crowded to suffocation. Shortly after the admission of strangers, Lord BROUGFfAM approached the table, and proceeded to address their Lordships. He said that he approached the consideration of the present case with great anxiety, from the peculiar circumstances under which it came before their Lord ships for judgment. The case itself was without any example, not only in his own experience, but in that of the oldest man living in the profession, in point of length and complexity of detail ; and it hardly exceeded any case he had recollection of in point of importance. The case had lasted about four score days in the Court below, and in that House. The printed papers in it approached to nearly 3,000 pages, and the notes of the arguments alone in that House occupied me less than about 10,000 pages. It was to have been expected, that as the parties proceeded onwards, and as the mist that surrounded all legal cases was cleared away, that the prolixity of the car would become less, and the difficulties that surrounded 11 could have vanished. Such, however, was net the case. Every successive step in the present cause produced greater labyrinth, the arguments were increased, the Mas s of materials was augmented, and amid those materials the ideas of any human being • were almost exhausted and confounded. Such being the case, if the matter Ilea gone to a fourth stage, it would have been impossible for imagination to conceive the difficulties with which it was surrounded. Ile (Lord B.) thought it not improper to ea prT his opinion upon this point, rather in the way of cern' plaint than commendation ; for no person who had carefully' looked at the present case could doubt that there was a great deal of materials brought into it that were totally unnecessary , He felt the great weight that was placed upon his shoulders, and the anxiety of the parties as to the course it was his in tention to pursue. He had attended for seventeen days to the hearing of the case, and it was only on account of ill health that he had not attended to it to its conclusion. He had attended last Thursday and heard the able arguments of his two Noble Friends who were adverse to the opinion of the Court below. He had also heard the arguments of his Noble and Learned Friend,—the most powerful that he had ever heard in his life,—who had pronounced the decision now ap pealed from. He had never heard anything more able or forcible, or more calculated to shake any previously formed opi nion. Knowing the great weight that would be attached to his opinion he had gone through the whole of the case—he had read again and again his own notes—he had carefully read the whole of the printed papers—he had read with the greatest attention the short- hand writer's not" of the arguments which he had not heard, and upon those he felt no doubt whatever as to the correctness of the judgment to which he had arrived. He could not but confess that at first he felt the greatest anxiety, but ultimately knowing that he had taken a proper view of the case, the judgment that he had come to was perfectly satisfactory to his own minds end it was only upon one point, which he should advert te, hereafter, that he felt any doubt or difficulty. If he bao felt any doubt upon the other parts of the case he should have felt it his duty, upon the ground that he had not hear d the whole of the arguments, to have abstained from inter fering altogether. Upon the question whether or no` an issue 'should be directed, he entertained not the ,. slightest doubt, and he should feel the greatest regre.,'" if this almost interminable litigation was not to en ' here. He considered that an issue was wholly out of the citie s " tion ; and he would be the last person in the world who w ould advise their Lordships to adopt such a course. The question of an issue was never broached in the Court below.. His ai ble Friend who had decided the case in the Court of Eache; quer, never doubted that an issue was out of the question, an from all that had taken place at the Bar, it was clear that th e parties hitherto had not desired it. But if they should 1 1 1 alter their course, and say, we will have an issue, he anise be the last person in the world who would think their Lordships to grant it, because he did not thin that the nature of the case was well adapted to sit trial by jury. No man in existence felt greate r reePF e than he did for that great blessing in the Consti tution of England—the trial by jury. But in the present case, fee greatest risks would attend the adoption of such a course,•`ei; cause on the one hand great preparations might be made wi t cr respect to the evidence to be produced, which on the lae would have to be met at perhaps a moment's notice. t he principal reason why he thought it was not proper t o try t case before a jury was the vast number of facts th at wo l. , have to be brought before their attention, and the gr eat dui. _ culty there would be in twinging the result of those facts t 0..: satisfactory termination. He therefore dismissed from ~hl O mind the proposition of a trial before a jury altogether. .",e then came to another part of the case, which was the princiP' _ of law which it involved—upon that, he believed, little h ere controversy existed on either side. Generally s peaking w eeta _ a contract had been entered into upon fraudulent rePrr there tams, an action would lie at law for damag es ' an odium would also be an escape from that contract throug h the mfirst of a Court of Equity. To get rid of that contract to it mu e st knees ar!" be made out that the representation was contrary th secondly—that the party making that represen tation !that it was contrary to the fact ; and thirdly—that those false representations gave rise to the contract between the Or' Nes. The cases which had been referred to upon that subject he would now call to the attention of their Lordshipa- Mr. Justice Boyes went a little further, and observed, if it was a thing that might have come to the knowledge of the pur chaser, and did note—if it was not in the exclusive knowledge of the party making the representation, but of the other party to whom it was made, it would still embrace the poll: ciple of not giving the relief prayed for. There w as anothefi case of Dovel and Stevens, which was heard befo re Lor _! Tenterden, then Chief Justice Abbott, and which related I s : the purchase of an ale-house, and in that case, notwithstanacet_ in an objection taken by the defendant's Counsel that . the e ltecf tion did not lie, his Lordship observed that the plaintiff on the fact that the purchase of the house had been Me e i f the faith of the representations of the other party. instead of saying that he drew so much beer per mo nth, : e ta other party bad said, " have you any objection to allow W tec t ; inspect your beer books," and that the vendor ba d ass c a suppose the party making the purchase bad gone books,lool-;: or sent a clerk or agent, and had gone through all the . and expressed himself satisfied—then if the party had g one ow ed self and looked into the beer-books, would he have be en all pd six months afterwards to be off the bargain, and say , there is a lesser draught of beer than has been represente ce r Or, would ho Lave been allowed to come into Chief Jotle., Abbott's Court and ask relief ? His Lordship would l'erY °" P t ivir perly say, how can I know that the purchase was ma de of faith of these representations—it was made on the r eport of the Clerk, and confirmed by yourself ? In another ess„eese Deakins v. Wisham, which was a purchase for 50 0 t, stated that the defendant had made representations to w." 10 in the words of the old statute the plaintiff " adlabens .fide tt i' which strongly impresses the reliance of the other Pai.ngs dona 5001." Now, the words " adhibens fidem," lea ta faith, slimed that the plaintiff had relied upon the represses • tion of the other party, and, therefore, in that case there wtirda good ground for coming to the Court for relief. In Ednbe v. Milace, Lord Eldon said that the falsehood, w hich - n et other party had no means of knowing, which wa s c od common to both parties, to enquire into, formed a disco. he ground for dissolving a contract. What inference (Lord Brougham) draw from these decisions—they- were 1 eisions upon principles of law which should ever be kePt in view, and to which he should refer as to a meridian line dritecit through the great mass of facts of the present case, to whitv he should refer constantly as he went along, with regard 0 their bearings, and he should value, weigh, a nd regard t he e in their relation to that line. What, then, was the infe rel a he drew ? That general fraudulent conduct' 1 - s i g nified not h t or —that attempts to overreach went for nothing that the e; tention and design to deceive went for nothing, unless all the) dishonesty, all that fraud, all that intention and design t° overreach, and all that dishonesty of p ur p ose , cou ld be ee-e -fleeted with the particular transaction, and not only co b;; nected with the particular transaction, but unless the) made the very ground on which the transaction took place' sP cs gave rise to the contract in dispute. If the general inteution f overreach were sufficient, he hardly knew of any contr A a l e a which might not be voided on such grounds. He had har t u ;. ever seen an attempt to get rid of a bargain in a Court of heir lice in which such an inference might not be drawn. T a d Lordships Lordships would generally find that in such cases there " al e ( been a fall in the price of the goods between the time lie r making the purchase and coming into Court, or some ~e r circumstance which made it against the interest of the h e j ito to perform the contract, but that did not in any case P et a .. end to the bargain. Their Lordships were aware of the ere traordinary evidence that was frequently given in whatwelie i termed horse cases, or " horse warrantys." In these f t r y mere mindedness, or attempt to overreach, was sufficie nt, cve p; bargain of such a nature would be put an end to tiallet stated these principles, he should now call their Lor:dships tention to the facts of the case, for which reason he ahttel, ld throw out a great deal of what appeared imele te a rl i - s li and confine himself entirely to those parts ""er, were sufficient to decide it.
